cursor keyboard touch pad very sensitive and cursor bounces around

[petro]

just got a new compac laptop yesterday and the keyboard/touch pad is very
sensitive. I can be typing along and all of a sudden a new windows pops open
or my cursor jumps to another spot on the page as I am typing.

I remember when we bought our other laptop earlier in the year I had to down
load a patch to fix this but I can't find the patch anywhere on the vista
website. Any suggestions?

You can turn the touchpad off while you are typing, or, assuming you may be
using a mouse (plugged into a usb port maybe), you can just leave it off
altogether, which is what I do at home.

ps my touchpad on/off control is on one of the f(function keys) along the
top of my keyboard. Do you have that too?
